Micrornas and Cardiovascular Diseases: From Bench to Bedside.
Translational Medicine @ UniSa 2017 July
MicroRNAs (microRNAs or miRs) are small, non-coding RNAs that control gene expression by binding to and repressing specific mRNA target and have emered as powerful regulators of many biological processes. Understanding miRNAs-biology and functions may be pivotal to get a better insight into pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for a large number of morbid conditions and may lay the foundations for the development of novel therapeutic interventions. Moreover, besides their intracellular functions, miRs are present in the human circulation in a remarkably stable cell-free form, and their plasmatic levels have been proposed as biomarkers for several pathological conditions. The present review aims to summarize the current evidences with regard to biological role of miRNAs in cardiovascular system and their involvement in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis, heart failure and pathological heart and vascular remodelling and to highlight their potential use as novel biomarkers and as therapeutic targets in cardiac and vascular diseases.
